What is a non-regulated
savings account?

A non-regulated savings account is a savings account that does not fall under the regulations of a regulated savings account. It means that there is no obligation to split the interest rate in a base rate and a fidelity premium and the currency does not have to be necessarily in Euro. Interest is paid annually.

 

That also means, however, that the account is not exempt from withholding tax on the first €980 of interest. The applicable withholding tax is 30% and applies to the full amount of interest paid. Term deposit accounts also fall under the regulations of the ‘non-regulated savings account’.

 

Although these accounts are not regulated, they are still eligible under the Maltese Depositor Compensation Scheme up to a maximum of €100.000 per person.

Interest Receivable

Interest is calculated on a 360-day basis on the daily outstanding balance on your Izola Saver account at the end of the day and is credited annually to your Izola Saver account on 31st December or on the day when the account is closed.

Fees

There are no fees or charges for opening or maintaining an Izola Saver account.

Taxation

As Izola Saver (online savings account) and Izola Saver+ (term deposit accounts) are non-regulated, interest is paid to you as gross (without tax being deducted). Please note non-regulated savings account interests are subject to a 30% tax rate.

Your Choice

Choose how much you want to save and how long for. There is no limit on the duration of your Izola Saver account.

Start Small

You can open an Izola Saver account with just €25.

Fully Flexible

You can withdraw your funds whenever you like, without incurring any fees
